Mississippi State Bulldogs 28-26 Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Ball State Cardinals 34-13 San Jose State Spartans

Army Black Knights 21-24 West Virginia Mountaineers

The big winner of todays game is KIF, who was the only person get 3/3 correct including being one of the few predictors to lay down their money on Mississippi State alongside MyPrerogative . The Arizona Bowl would be a 50/50 affair, but dramatic final quarter in the Liberty Bowl would favour the majority in what had originally looked like Buttermaker and Juice stealing point for their win column only for the Black Knights to falter.

KIF is now tied joint first with HoHo, whilst both MyPrerogative and Chris have made impressive comebacks to be just one win behind the lead. Buttermaker sits at bottom of the pile, being at major risk of being the first person in the field to fall out of reach.

I'm comin'

 

[Kiffy Lube]

For second place for the second straight year.

 

[CakeWalker]

As it currently stands anyone can mathematically take the lead, apart from @Buttermaker who will have to edit his choices if he has any hopes of claiming the crown.

Thanks for this bc I was about to look at my predictions I had left to make sure

 

[Kiffy Lube]

There is one game(that I'm gonna win) that people will be surprised by but they shouldn't be.

 

[Buttermaker]

Uh oh. This is no good

Cincinnati Bearcats 21-24 Georgia Bulldogs

Auburn Tigers 19-35 Northwestern Wildcats

The Peach and Citrus Bowl would both offer up interesting results for the rest of the field. In the Citrus Bowl only Doom and Juice would correctly predict a victory for Northwestern. In the Peach Bowl a late turnaround from The Bulldogs meant that the majority of the field picked up the W - with only HoHo and Juice dropping points having backed Cincinnati.

Doom claiming two victories had very much put himself back into the hunt, now being just one behind our new solo leader KIF as HoHo drops down picking up two losses as we find four predictors in joint second with Juice two behind. There are seven games left to play, and some people may want to edit their selection if they are to have any hopes of winning the Bowl title. It is too late to change your picks for the Rose Bowl - but if you are feel like taking a risk (LIKE I HAVE OMG) you can still change your selection in the Sugar Bowl.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish 14-31 Alabama Crimson Tide

Ohio State Buckeyes 49-28 Clemson Tigers

The entire field would back the #1 seeds Alabama, with the Crimson Tide having now booked themselves a place in this year's National Championship game. In our second semi-final game originally everyone had backed Clemson, only for Juice to change their selection prior to the Sugar Bowl commencing becoming the only predictor to back Ohio State and the Buckeyes would pull of a massive win to advance themselves to the Championship meaning that only Juice claims a win from the Sugar Bowl.

With four games to play tomorrow and the National Championship next week, KIF still hold control of the pack with a one win advantage. However, because of Juice's victory we now have five people tied in 2nd position which means the competition still remains wide open for all five chasing so close behind.

In our four games tomrrow - Chris, HoHo, Doom and MyPrerogative each have one fixture which they have each predicted differently from KIF. With Juice being the only person who has matched pick-for-pick with our current points leader. This currently means (unless any audible changes are made prior to any of tomorrow's game commencement) that their is a high chance that a few predictors could find themselves being eliminated from the contest on the penultimate day within Bowl Season, whilst at the same time if KIF goes 4/4 tomorrow he will be guaranteed to be the winner for the second successive season - whether this will be achieved jointly or solo is something that would still have to be determined.
​

WS Bowl Games 2020-21	Wins	Losses	Differential	Game Remaining
KIF	14	7	0	5
HoHo	13	8	-1	5
Chris	13	8	-1	5
MyPrerogative	13	8	-1	5
Doom	13	8	-1	5
Juice	13	8	-1	5
Buttermaker	9	12	-5	5
Blaze	9	12	-5	5

[Kiffy Lube]

I'll do a sig bet with anyone that thinks I'll lose this. I'm also takin' Alabama in the championship.

If there is a tie goin' into the last game. We should be allowed to guess the score also.

NC State Wolfpack 21-23 Kentucky Wildcats

Ole Miss Rebels 26-20 Indiana Hoosiers

In our first two game of today, it was a case of only one selector correctly picking the winner of each team. Chris would successfully predict a win for Kentucky, whilst Doom would also be the only person to predict a win for Ole Miss putting the pair both on par with KIF in joint first position. With only three games remaining Buttermaker and Blaze are now longer able to make up the differential to catch first position.

The Oregon vs. Iowa State game will see MyPrerogative and Juice be the only two persons favouring the Ducks to win. Whilst, HoHo and Juice have chosen a win for North Carolina over Texas A&M - although other predictors may be forced to change their selections if they want to change their fortunes.
​

WS Bowl Games 2020-21	Wins	Losses	Differential	Games Remaining
KIF	14	9	0	3
Chris	14	9	0	3
Doom	14	9	0	3
HoHo	13	10	-1	3
MyPrerogative	13	10	-1	3
Juice	13	10	-1	3
Buttermaker	9	14	-5	3
Blaze	9	14	-5	3

Oregon Ducks 17-34 Iowa State Cyclones

In the Fiesta Bowl encounter, the Cyclones never looked like losing and it was no shock to anyone when they would prove to be victorious. MyPrerogative and Juice would be the only two predictors to pick the losing Oregon Ducks. This result now means that because of MyPrerogative's remaining selection being Texas, they are unable to correct their points differential and have thus been eliminated.

With one game left to play the Orange Bowl will result in someone being eliminated from the running.

A win for Texas A&M Aggies will see our three current leader KIF, Chris and Doom confirm themselves as the finalists. A win for North Carolina however, will see HoHo tie in 1st with Juice being one behind the other leaders. Technically speaking Juice would advance, however even if North Carolina were to win - Juice's ability to win would only be possible if no one else made the same pick as them in the National Championship Game.
​

WS Bowl Games 2020-21	Wins	Losses	Differential	Game Remaining
KIF	15	9	0	2
Chris	15	9	0	2
Doom	15	9	0	2
HoHo	14	10	-1	2
Juice	13	11	-2	2
MyPrerogative	13	11	-2	2

Jesus I was making it look early on and now I might not make the cut damn.

North Carolina Tar Heels 27-41 Texas A&M Aggies

The Orange Bowl proved to be a real game changer and helped clear the board, removing a number of prospective contenders from the table. It had been almost mathematically impossible for Juice to win, but without a win their journey is now over. So much so, that they finish below MyPrerogative who had already been eliminated prior to the Orange Bowl beginning. HoHo who was the early leader in the Bowl Series, also falls out of catching distance unable to close the gap and also has been eliminated in the process.
​

WS Bowl Games 2020-21	Wins	Losses	Differential
KIF	16	9	0
Chris	16	9	0
Doom	16	9	0
HoHo	14	11	-2
MyPrerogative	14	11	-2
Juice	13	12	-3
Buttermaker	10	15	-6

With one game to go we find ourselves with three predictors left standing including last year's winner KIF and last year's runner-up Chris still fighting for the top spot. And they are joined by Doom who really throws an extra dimension into this scenario, who finished joint third last year but is now guaranteed a top two finish.

I would confirm at this point, that no matter what combination of picks are made if two or even three predictors pick the same winning team - then they will all share the title.

I also welcome everyone else involved in the competition, even those who have now been eliminated to enjoy the Championship game and make the last pick.

January 11 - Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide ​
